His interview with John Stewart was pretty eye opening for me. I didn't realize people literally think this dude, that actually has empathy, is some violence crazed lunatic. You just have to look at the people attaching him to know he's on the right track.

Because his name is Andrew and the other guy's name is Zohran.

And yes, I've met people who vote this way.

It's much closer than the previous polls made it out to be. He looked to be leading Cuomo 2:1

Lotta rich people living in NYC. We're just lucky a Mamdani appeared before the poor were completely pushed into the minority.

Possibly many polled Sliwa supporters actually voted for Cuomo instead, to try to prevent a Mamdani win.
